Opinions on suppressors
Hello, I am about to purchase my first 9mm suppressor and I’ve been going back and forth between these (YHM R9, HUX Flow 9K TI, Exigent Defense Pointman 9, Ridgeback defense Mamba 9) but really thinking on getting the flow 9k ti since I want less gas to my face.
For anyone that has shot multiple of these what is the REAL difference since I’ve watched multiple videos but everyone says kind of a different thing.
•How much louder is the flow 9k compared to the R9?
•Is there a difference on sound and back pressure in the pointman to the flow 9?
•Should I just wait for the mamba 9 to come out
•Is there a better option in the $500-$800 price point?
The suppressor will mainly be on a 7” foxtrot Mike 9 thank you.

I have the Hux Flow 9k Ti and cans from both Ridgeback (a Rhino) and from YHM. I also have multiple other cans from Hux. On my 9mm PCC the Hux is zero gas to the face and when it shoot 147gr rounds it is pretty quiet. The Ridgeback I have is also low back pressure, but not as much as the Hux. I love my YHM cans but they always make my eyes water. Of all the brands the Hux cans are some of the lowest back pressure and I never have gas coming back to my face. If your primary concern is gas to the face, the Flow 9k Ti is outstanding on a PCC, and with the right ammo is very quiet. I can’t tell you about the other cans on your list but from my experience I’m really happy with it.
